Relaxed Empiricism — I only believe something to be true if someone I know quite well tells me if happened.

Give role players love. Praise can be most valuable when it’s merited by someone whose supporting role is often overlooked

Hey fellas! This is what you work all off season for. This is why you lift all them weights! This is why you do all that!

I pay homage and respect to Bobby Womack [for Black History Month] knowing that he passed last year… Him being one of those artists that I have really sampled so much and just been so inspired by… You know, he is the original ‘soul man.’

People who announce they are going to the toilet. Thanks that’s an image I really didn’t need.

If I have affected someone in a positive way, that means a lot to me.

Creatures of similar plumages habitually congregate in places of closest proximity.

What really resonated with my students, I think, is that most of the writers we worked with were journalists, and when they saw journalists simply raising questions and being put in jail for that, it did freak them out a little bit.

I ain’t going to jail no more. The only way we gonna stop them white men from whuppin’ us is to take over. What we gonna start sayin’ now is Black Power!

There are very few people who have committed more to the pro-life discourse than Rob has. He’s spent time in jail. He has really lived it.
